Please tell us the values of the following config parameters:
$Conf{WakeupSchedule}
$Conf{FullPeriod}
$Conf{IncrPeriod}
Check both the main config file and the per-host config file (if any).
Is this machine a DHCP host or fixed IP?
Next, look in the main log file and see when it last woke up and
when it last backed up your host. Finally, check the time of the
last successful dump for that host.
Given all this information we should be able to find out why the
backup isn't occurring when you expect.
